"It was worth it to try and give it a go" - Romain Bardet with no regrets after offensive ride in stage 8

Team dsm-firmenich PostNL had a clear game plan for Giro d'Italia stage 8. While his teammates covered early moves, Romain Bardet was ready to take over the initiative and joined the move that eventually stuck at the front. The Frenchman - in hopes of a leap forward after disappointing opening weekend - had his eyes set on stage as well as GC, but neither worked out in the end as UAE Team Emirates never let the escapees off the hook.
"We wanted to try it on the second climb today. The guys were really good and up there with me in the first part of the break formation. I’m a bit disappointed we weren’t given more of a gap in the end, but it was worth it to try and give it a go. On the last climb the peloton caught us and I held on for a bit but that was all I had today. Tomorrow is another day though and we keep fighting," Bardet said in press release.
